Patek Philippe White Gold Calatrava - Ref. 3520D

The vintage Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 3520D represents the precise milestone reference that popularized one of the most recognizable and enduring design signatures in haute horlogerie history.  The hallmark of this historic reference is its meticulously hand-guilloched "Clous de Paris" (hobnail) bezel—denoted by the prestigious "D" (Décor) suffix in its model number. This engine-turned texture creates a beautiful, multi-faceted pattern that catches the light with subtle sophistication.  Crafted in a solid 18k white gold case, the watch features straight, integrated lugs and an ultra-thin profile measuring just 5.5 mm thick. This sleek architecture allows the timepiece to slide completely flush and weightless under a tuxedo or shirt cuff. Contrasting the textured white gold case is a flawless, porcelain-white lacquer dial. Its stark, minimalist canvas is accented by slender, painted black Roman numeral hour indexes and matching delicate stick hands.  Beating beneath the solid caseback is the ultra-thin, manual-winding Patek Philippe Caliber 177. . Hand-finished to meet the strict horological demands of the Geneva Seal, this mechanical workhorse offers pure, unadulterated traditional watchmaking.  The condition of this lovely Calatrava  is excellent with all hallmarks crisp and clearly visible.  The watch comes on a black Patek Philippe strap and original Patek white gold tang buckle.
